How does Acupuncture Increase IVF Success Rates?

Before I show you the studies let me just give you a quick overview of how acupuncture could specifically help you:    

Acupuncture can... 
1. Improve the quality and thickness of the uterine lining
2. Make the pregnancy more likely to go full term
3. Improve hormone levels including FSH, prolactin, estrogen and progesterone
4. Increase blood flow to the reproductive organs
5. Decrease stress associated with going through fertility treatments

Study shows that Acupuncture Increases Success Rates Significantly
 
In this study  patients receiving Assisted Reproductive Therapy were divided into two groups.  The first group received an acupuncture treatment 25 minutes before and after embryo transfer.  The second group did not receive acupuncture before or after embryo transfer. 

In the group that received the acupuncture, 42.5 % became pregnant as opposed to 26.3% of the women who did not receive acupuncture.

By coming for regular acupuncture treatments three months prior to embryo transfer, pregnancy rates can increase up to 60% according to Dr. Lifang LiangO.M.D., Ph. D., L.Ac. in her book
  
“Acupuncture & IVF.”

Now how to begin...

Come in for acupuncture - this alone increases your fertility

Your first appointment includes a thorough discussion about your health history, fertility concerns, and any other concerns you have.  You will have an opportunity to see how seemingly unrelated health concerns may all be part of an underlying imbalance that can be corrected with acupuncture.  

The second appointment and thereafter, you will receive a full acupuncture treatment.  Often tiny disposable needles are inserted and occasionally moxa is used.  Moxa is a warming herb that is placed on the skin during treatment.  Every treatments lasts for approximately one hour and is $95. 

While herbs are NOT recommended while undergoing fertilty treatments, the good news is that we will teach you about foods and lifestyle factors that can increase your fertility.  

If you are feeling stressed about your IVF or IUI, you are not alone.  Have you heard one too many times, “Just relax, then you’ll get pregnant”  It’s interesting the things well-intended people say that are just so not helpful.  Although in every hot button, there is probably some truth.  Wouldn’t it be great to feel relaxed and peaceful while you undergo your IVF or IUI procedures?  Acupuncture may be the best way to relieve stress.  Most say it feels like a trip to the spa.
